Concrete Park is set in the near future on a city on a distant desert planet where new arrivals from Earth fight to make a life for themselves.

"Concrete Park is a sprawling epic," said Puryear. "It's the sci-fi story I've been waiting to tell.

"It's a perfect fit with Dark Horse Presents, the legendary anthology comic that served as a launch pad for innovative work by the biggest names in comics, including Frank Miller (Sin City, 300) and Mike Mignola (Hellboy).

Concrete Park was conceived by Puryear with his wife, actress Erika Alexander, and her brother, writer Robert Alexander.
